Fear is an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or threat. Did you already feel this emotion? The global meaning of this quote is how we are personally in life. The quote has many qualities like humans do. The meaning of the line "It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us." is that it's our strengths not our weaknesses that most frightens us in life. When I read this line, I have the image of someone standing in the dark with a light in the corner. It makes me think that the darkness means the bad side the "weaknesses" and the light means the good side the "stengths". This is the global meaning of the quote and the meaning of the line that caught to my eye.

Our Strengths Frightens Us by Melyssa Merner

Your True Face; by Olivia Julien

"Its our light not our darkness that most frightens us", a great line from a quote I read. This is a great line that helps you understand the meaning of everyone's real fear. Could you imagine a world where nobody shows their real side and only their fake side? Sadly, this is our world. Everyone is scared of showing their strengths, by fear of being juged. Everyone is scared of showing their "light" because they dont have enough self-esteem and they feel that they will be the only ones showing their "light", this makes me think back to the quote that I read. At the end of the quote is says "as we let our own light shine we uncounciously give others permission to do the same" and this explains my first quote. Everyone is scared to show their light and to be different, because nobody has been the first one to be "the change". Be the change in the world and you will allow others to do the same. This quote makes me think about an image of someone blinded by light. This image links back to the quote because the person is scared of the light in front on him, because he was in the darkness his whole life.

Our Deepest Fear: By Anthony-James
What
is our deepest fear, our fears are different then other people’s fears. Like
some people have “Arak-phobia” witch is a fear of bugs, more precisely a spider
fear. Others fear “Terrorism” witch is a fear of terrorist and what they could
do like, ex: 9/11 or France Stadium that exploded a few days ago. Actually our
deepest common fear is not that we are not good enough, our deepest fear is
that we are powerful beyond measure (Williamson ). This quote means that we are not actually
scared of being different we are scared of being more superior then others.
Our fears are the only thing that stop us
from accomplishing our dreams, our fears and our choices that we make in life
make us who and what we are today… human. When I close my eyes the first thing that
comes to mind is the quote, I think about high school students who are scared
to show themselves because they might get judged by others. Would you rather face your fear or be
human. If you face your fears then you might think
about what could happen if you do, ex: losing your humanity by going over the
human limit, ex: knowing too much or being superior then others. If you decide to be human then you will do
the right choice like what a human would do but sometimes humanity cant save
you and your choices will maybe have impact on you or you could maybe get
concurred by your own fears and you will probably never know what is out there
in the universe or on earth because you will be to scared to see it or even try
it.
So what would you do?
Your Deepest Fear May be Your Talent by James H-P
Never giving up and staying who you are is a big key to success. This quote called Our Deepest Fear by Marianne Williamson has a strong meaning and especially for people who think about giving up. You are the only one who can really make a change in your life. There is a line in this quote that really marks me and makes me think about a famous hockey player named Wayne Gretzky. The line in this quote goes like this "Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyong measures." I see this quote as it is saying that we are not scared not to be good enough but that we are scared to be better than the average. All teenagers can connect to this line because we teenagers all have something that we do that is really outstanding. While rereading this specific in rhe quote I can see a picture of Wayne Gretzky who is the best hockey player and that has 56 records to his name. Having a fear is normal but having a fear to be to good is what everybody needs and also never should we give up because it is the key to success, and it will keep you having your head up.
Our Strengh by; Shawn Dube

In Marianne Williamson's quote Our Deepest Fear, she explains that it's important to show your strengthens to others. Most teens hide their strengths sometimes, because they're afraid or being judged or worse not fitting in. This is what Williamson means when she says: "It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us." Our strengths are the things that we're good at. If we could just drop our fears, we could use our light (strengths) to accomplish our goals. In my opinion, everyone has something they are good at and things that they need to work on. For example, I'm good at math and some sports like football. But, I have some challenges with my French class, because I'd rather throw my books like a football, then read them. Not being good, or actually being good at something shouldn't make us afraid to be ourselves. Williamson's quotes makes me want to show my strengths not hide them. At the same time, work or my weaknesses so it can one day become a possible strength. By choosing to shine my light, I'm giving other people permission to do the same. So, why do the same and don't be afraid to shine!
